The Lang & Heyne Good quality I is a traditionally

I am glad to know that no living animal species was harmed in the creation of this watch. Dresden, Germany based high-end brand Lang & Heyne will produce a limited edition set of 25 Good quality I movements for its watches with links made from the tusks of vanished wooly mammoths. You don't see big cream color used a lot. It is rare and hard to get being available only from well-preserved mammoths. All the cream color here for example was taken from a find in Siberia, where the permafrost can preserve entire big bodies in relatively good condition. Lang & Heyne acquired some cream color via a German dealer and investigated its properties in watch making.

I firmly believe that using modern elephant cream color for anything these days is pure evil. Poaching in places such as Photography equipment is a sin against nature, and may be avoided without exceptions. The devastation of animal species on this planet for short-term profit should be much more a matter of international concern. If you see any situation that isn't old fashioned and uses cream color, a person a good person to avoid it. I needed to get that off my chest as i simply hate it when animals suffer at the expense of human avarice and economic desolation. Lang & Heyne however goes a lot more honourable route with the cream color from a long dead animal. Marco Lang from the brand affirms that in his opinion using modern elephant cream color is a bad thing.

The Lang & Heyne Good quality I is a traditionally designed and made hand twisted mechanical movement. In this case, big cream color is used for the links, plates, and the hand-engraved balance tool. Notice that the balance wheel colour pallette gem is a diamond. There is blue color applied to the engraving big balance tool to emphasize the design. According to Lange & Heyne the cream color material is more lustrous than wood, and is relatively simple to work with. They uses modern CNC machines to cut the material into watch parts. The more precision components in the movements are still manufactured in metal.

The movement is larger at 36. 6mm wide and runs at a rate of 16, 00bph. It has an electric reserve of fouthy-six hours and displays the time with additional seconds. The Good quality 1 is available in two Lange & Heyne watches, but will still be only available as a total set of 25 pieces. It is a very beautiful movement and may be visible through the caseback of the watches.

The two watches with the Good quality I movement as an option are the Lang & Heyne Friedrich May I, and the Johann. Each of these has a 43. 5mm wide case in 18k white or rose gold. The difference between the two models are the switch. Both have real enameled surface knobs but different hands and designs. For those bold enough you should check out the highly adorned and formed "Louis XV" hands. The hands are all in gold.
